“Bertram Dean Early life Bertram Vere Dean was born May 21, 1910 in London, England. His parents were Bertram Frank Dean (1887-1912) and Eva Georgette “Ettie” Light Dean (1879-1975). He gained a sister in 1912, Milvina. Titanic Bertram, his parents and sister boarded the Titanic on April 10, 1912 as third class passengers. They were immigrating to Wichita, Kansas, in the United States where his father hoped to open a tobacco shop. Bertram was 1 year and 11 months and his sister was two months (she was the youngest passenger). On the night of the collision, Bertram’s father felt the collision. He woke and went up on deck, to see what was the matter. He came back and woke his family and told them to get up and dress warmly. They headed to the top deck. They lost Bertram among the chaos, however Ettie and Milvina escaped in lifeboat 13. Bertram was put in another boat. His father died in the sinking Ettie and her daughter were picked up by the Carpathia the next morning. There they found Bertram there. Ettie decided to return to England, and sailed home within the next week. In his later years Bertram was educated at King Edward’s school in Southampton, paid for by compensation from the various Titanic relief funds. He went on to work at Husband’s Shipyard in Southampton where he met George Beauchamp who, he learned, may have been in the same lifeboat as he. The two became good friends. Bert Dean was married to Dorothy Sinclair, who had her own Titanic-credentials: her father had purchased the music shop in Southampton previously owned by Titanic victim Henry Price Hodges. Bert was very fervent about Titanic-related activities: he granted many interviews guested at several conventions, was a frequent visitor to the Southampton City Heritage’s offices during the 1980s; he was secretary for 25 years for the Anchor Darts Club at the Royal Oak pub in Woodlands. Bertram Vere Dean died 14 April 1992, aged 81. He was cremated at Southampton Crematorium on 22nd April 1992 and his ashes were scattered in St Mary’s churchyard, Eling, Totton, Southampton, England. “
